| The Bottle On The Bar Copyright 2004: Second Wind On the day that my best friend passed away He spoke not of the crazy things he'd done Instead of talking 'bout the times we'd partied 'til the morning light He longed to have the days we'd wasted, recuperating For all the doctor had to give my friend was ten days until the end And we couldn't help but think of all the times That good fun had to wait until the headache went away What we'd put off for tomorrow had now become today Today is tomorrow, tomorrow is today The plans we'd made, now were laid to rest for eternity And lord, can you help me or have I gone too far To put my family first, my head on straight And the bottle on the bar We worked real hard and partied even harder We missed the soccer games and Sunday at church For everyone was plain to see the worst ahead for him and me And what I heard in his last breath scared me to death Now I spend my nights with my wife, the kids and all their friends And i urge you all to do the very same Tell them how the story goes of Lee & his best friend named Joe The day they had to say goodbye and let each other go Chorus Lord, can you help me put this damned old bottle on the bar? |
